Ah, the American Midwest...

... home to a great many folks who know what good cooking is all about.








Please use this thread to share about your favorite Midwestern dishes, critique some that you don't think are all that great and in general have a discussion about the quintessential American land of food.

When I was in michigan I asked for some legit local cuisine and they pointed me to a place that served pasties (PAST-e not PASTE-e like the fringed stripper nipple covers)

It was a wad of dough with ground beef inside

If you were really crazy you could get some with rutabagas

wheeeeeee kablam

gently caress the Midwest, the only good food there is whatever the black people eat

Deep fried pork chop on a stick is a Thing and its not bad for a "once in a year" thing. :shrug:

I ordered a cinnamon bun at a local coffee shop and the barista asked me "Do you want butter with that?"

I'm pretty sure I made the :stonk: face in real life

Snickers salad is the poo poo, it was my favorite part of family gatherings. My mom used waaay more apples than the one in the photo has, too. There's also a version that doesn't have the snickers, just apples, peanuts, crushed pineapple and cool whip.

I could go to town on some loving snickers salad right about now

Salad is healthy right? Let's fix that.

Put a ton of fries, hard boiled eggs, cheese and sirloin steak on top of lettuce and smother it all in ranch dressing.

Enjoy your 7500 calorie salad!
